JL Audio Pleases Me
This is a very fine item from JL Audio. It seems very well made and it has great sound. Pair it with the right JL amp and you will get some deep sounding bass notes. All in all I enjoy my two subwoofers. Creative is my site for purchasing great audio equipment at good prices and payment plan.
